Wilson leaves behind a singular catalog of pop and rock music, which is of course headlined by his work in the '60s and '70s with The Beach Boys, alongside his brothers Carl and Dennis, cousin Mike Love and friend Al Jardine.

Brian Wilson, an eclectic genius whose sunny Beach Boys songs like "God Only Knows" and "Good Vibrations" helped define American pop music, has died.

Two "Pet Sounds" highlights, the former featuring envelope-pushing instrumentation and production and the latter, a deceptively complex harmonic structure as well as lyrics that were, at that point, taboo for a pop song because of the repeated references to God. The Beatles' Paul McCartney named "God Only Knows" his favorite song of all time.

Fairgoers who saw the Beach Boys in Wayne County in 1963 shared their memories following the death of Beach Boys co-founder Brian Wilson.

During a June 10 performance with the Beach Boys in Lowell, Massachusetts, actor John Stamos of "Full House" fame said he had invited Karen Read, the woman accused of killing Boston Police officer John O'Keefe, but she didn't show up. "I'm addicted to the trial," Stamos said.

John Stamos said he was the first to tell Mike Love about the death of the Beach Boys singer's cousin and bandmate Brian Wilson: 'His face went blank.'

From "Almost Famous" to "American Graffiti" and "Full House," Brian Wilson and the Beach Boys have soundtracked some of Hollywood's biggest titles.

Brian Wilson’s 1966 masterpiece is now considered a crowning achievement of music. The album’s reputation grew over time.
